Thinking about ordering a custom Vamoots RSL with an Enve tapered fork which Enve says can accomodate tires up to about 700x30. I would be looking to run tires around 700x28 to 700x30 max in size, nothing really bigger and would like if possible to do it using standard road brake calipers, not cantis. If I go custom on a Vamoots RSL can the chainstays and front end be lengthened slightly to accomdate those tire sizes? Thanks

Tiege10,
We really didn't intend for the RSL to run more than a 25c tire from the start. There is also just a bit more involved than making the stay longer. It has to do with the shape of the stay behind the bb where the tire will run. We have very specific tooling to make those "shapes" on the stays.

We do understand the trend of running a bigger tires and do so ourselves on many of our personal bikes. It's something we will look to address in the near future on the RSL, but for now, we are pretty happy where it is at. Going bigger than a 28c most likely won't be in the cards....when you get to 30c tires, you are looking at a long reach road caliper....for that we have the Vamoots LT. It would be possible to order say the Vamoots CR custom with PF30, 44mm head tube and be able to accomodate a 28c tire...still, normal road caliper specs.

Thanks for the info Jon. Would running 25's be ok on the Vamoots RSL even if they are run on say a HED Belgium C2 23mm wide clincher rim thus changing the profile of the inflated tire? Just want to make sure that that configuration would clear the chainstays if I go in that direction versus the CR with 44 HT option. regards, Tiege
